ILLINOIS COLLEGE LIBRARY SURVEY 


if niro d uetion 


It has been felt that the college libraries of Illinois have 





had no common standards. Each library has had to meet its own’ proeb- 
lems in its own way. This survey was made as an attempt to find just 
what the libraries had in common, and how they could cooperate with 
One another. Special stress was laid Upon sae metnods used for’ in- 
a then that required. 






teresting students in books and reading, 
An onportunity was also given for th jan to tell of any spe- 


cial collection--books valuable because of rarity and age or a strong 


. gYroupocon some one subject. Since union lists and catalogs are always 


made with largeilibraries in view it is very easy for books valuable 


for scholars to be unaccessible to those who might wish to use then. 


It was at first planned to include all schools above high 
school ae but this proved too large and varied a field. Therefore 
the study is limited to class A and B colleges. Twenty-two question- 
nairs were sent, from which there were nineteen replies. [ne wording 
in the tabulations has tried to follew as nearly as possible the word- 


ing of the answers to the questionnaires.

| SIZE OF LIBRARY 


> Considering first the size of the library it must be born in 
mind that the larger the college the larger the library must be to 
serve the student& body adequatly. Therefore it is necessary to 
eompare the size of the dibrary with the size of the college. Of 
course the quality of the books counts more than the quantity of 
pooks but since the quantity is more tangible and more easily ar- 
rived at thru a quesbionnaire we shall find the number of books per 
student in each library.

BOOKS FOR GENERAL READING AND REFERENCE USE 


After studying the replies to the questiasconcerning number of 
books for recreational and informational character it seems hard to 
arrive at any conclusions. It is very evident that the librarians 
did not have the same view point when making divisions. ‘Some divik 
ded the entire collection between reference and general books while, 
was can be seen by looking at the tables, the total of general reading 
books and reference books of others only came to 3/10 of thw total 
number of volumes. Too, as the librarian at Knox said it was hard 
to make a distinction for very often a book was bought for general 
reading and a teacher would discover it and put it #mmediatly on his 
reserve shelf. The outstanding coment of those who did make comments 
was that there were far too few books for general reading provided. 
The feeling is left with one that that is one of the big problems 
whieh the librarians have to help solve with the assistance of the 
teachers. Perhaos it is as it should pe at Knox. It is a question 
whether the books for general reading should be coardinated as much 
as possibie with the college courses , so that students who do not 
naturally read a great deal would get acquainted with good books other 
than texts, and so perhaps grow fonder of books , orwhethner it is 
better for the librarian to advertise and arrange books so attractively 
that the students will take time to read and enjoy them more because 
they were nob told to read them. Perhaps a blending ofthe two plans 
would be most effective with the librarian and teaching staff keeping 
in close touch with each others work.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS 


It seems that a number of the libraries having special collections 
fall heir to them rather than make any conscious effort to build up any 
Special field. Of the /5 colleges reported 12 have some sort of special 

collections, i595 separate collections in all. Six colleges report gifts 
as special collections, one threeseparate gifts, another two. In a numk 
ber of cases it can not be told whether special collections originated as 
gifts or not. Perhaps some of the most outstanding collections are the 
books presented by the king of Sweden to “ugustana and the large file of 
Swedish American nawspapers and periodicals at the same college. If one 
were selecting a well rounded library in literature, art and science the 
Standish Fund books at Knox ought to prowe a great help. ‘*here the his- 
torian should note the Finley collection of 1,000 volumes on history and 
romance of the Northwest. To the lover of art Illinois “esleyan showd 
have something helpful. *erhaps the most unique eollecttion for thispart 
of the country is the colleetion of Czechoslovak literature and history 
and travel at St. Procopius. Here is one case where the library has evi- 
dently mate a special effort to build up this field. 


ANNUAL AMOUNT SPENT 


Looking over the list it is noticed that annual expenditures vary - 
from $2,500 to $400 a year. But again it is hardly fair to compare ex- 
penditures without comparing them in relation to the size of the library 
and the student body,. tnt, wwill be seen that the amounfs vary all theway 
from $7-44 of Rosary, down to¢t.38 of “heaton. It will be remembered that 
Mt- Morrés also had the largest number of books per student.while Laké 
Forest which came second spends the fourth largest, $7.00. There is there- 
fore some correlation between the amount spent and the numbet of books 
per students The college with the next lowest number of books per stu- 
dent has next to the lowest amount spent. There are other factors how- 
ever, for McKendree with 66 books per student only pays 93-SOV ver stu- 
dent. In buying magazines the funds vary just as much--from §.44 per 
student at Shurtleff to §4.160at St. Procopius. Perhaps divergencies 
Will ereep in here due to the fact that againmagazines for general readk 
ing may be misinterpreted. It has often been discussed as to the proper 
percentage of funds whichshould be spent on magazinas. It is ratner in- 
teresting to see how the funds are divided between books and magazines. 
Again we have a very wide rangefrom 36% of Lake Forest to 3% of Shurtleff 
The average percentage is 57, .

FICTION POLICY 


It would seem that the English Departments were held largely respo n- 
sible for the fiction which finds itself tn the stacks of most college 
libraries. In most cases the libraries @ither have provided no funds for 
fiction or they buy what they do bug for “nglish classes. There is only 
one outstanding exception to this rule and that is at St. Procopius wh ere 
75 new books of fiction are added every year and where a seven day circu- 
letion of. fiction is provided. Eureka has 4 rather unique plan. All 


i aes. «et RY 2 ‘nate 4 
fines are used for fiction. It might not be wise for students to know this.

library mentions a restricted shelf and that contains very few books, in 
tne words of the librarian they have access to all but a sequestered and |. 
encient few and one or two sex books". One librarian said that unless 4, 
knewsa particular book he wants for recreational reading he is turned 
loose to browse thry the shelves himself. “he students all have an op- 
portunity to become acquainted with books by examining them first han d. 


1f colleges have no limit to the number of books which can be taken 
out while in two others where there is a limit the librarian reports 
special permission may be received or exceptions are made, ‘here there 
is a maximum set it varies from one, wnich fortunately ip one where e€xX- 
ceptions are made to five. I is interesting to note, however, that in 
a number of cases where the number is not limited the librarian reports 
that students rarely want more than two books at one time. “here reserve 
books are mentioned the practice is the same--to allow reserve books out 
only when the library is closed.

ees BOOKS AND READING. - 
t Br a Ps ” 
ta ¢ ng 74 » rice, } 
Ly Be Yarious are the ways found forinterect students in reading but 
the three ways most generally used/exhibits of books themselves, ex- 
tensive use of tne bulletin board and articles and lists in the coll- 
ege papers. At least half the librarians mention the college paper 
and as it is the one paper most students read it should be a very good 
medium between the librarian and the student. Numerous sighs are used 
to catch the eye of the possible reader, perhaps the most humorous be- 
ng Do not handle.” According to the librartan "it works", The mem- 
bers of the faculty have lent a helpful hand in a number of eases by 
speaking in chapel or to classes and writing book reviews. Again it 
has been the “nglish teacher who, because of the novel, literature and 
short story courses, largely leads the student's reading. In one case 
= oy teacher suggests books. There is fine cooperation in one 

bOliege. fhe librarian assists in making out lists of books for the 
Btudents and then the faculty assign reports to be made on books from 
ese lists. The power of suggestion and personal attention is highly 
i valued. |

__ The new books are brought to the attention of the students in 
mueh the same way as other interesting books are. Quite a common prac- 
tice is the sending to faculty notices and reviews of books in which 
they are especially interested or are which on their speeial field of 
work. It is encouraging to note that only }wo libraries fail to an- 
wer regarding ways of interesting students, showing that some con- 
scious effort is peing made to direct student reading and to intro- 
duce them to new literature.

COLLECTIONS OF BOOKS 
OUTSIDE LIBRARY 


In most cases a small collection of books set apart from the rest 
attracts more attention and is more available and therefore is used 


more than if all the books were shelved together. This seems to be ap-= 


preciated by the colleges for in all bht two cases there are collec- 
tions shelved separately. In most eases these are books used by stu- 
dents in different courses, such as physics, chemistry, biology etc.. 
We find an art collection in an art studio and a drama and poetry col- 
lection in the drama studio. In a few instances there is a movement to 
make books for general reading more available to the student. Vollec- 
tions are being placed in dormatories, Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. rooms. If 
all but one case these collections are accessible to students. In the 
ease of the art collection "limited access" is reported. 


BORROWING FROM OTHER LIBRARIES 


The spirit of most college libraries is that they are willing to 
serve others and do when asked but this is infrequent in most eases 
due to good publie libraries. One library does not circulate outside 
the student body but encourages others to use the books in the library. 
Women's Clubs, ministers and former: studants patronize the eollege 
library most. It seems, however that where there is no publie library 
that, if at all possible the college library, tho first and primarily 
for students, should serve thecommunity. Something seems wrong in one 
small town which has no public library when thereport comes rather em- 
phatically that no service is given. vJne fine way of helping the towns 
people learn about the college and what it is doing Should be thru the 
the college library. 


In all cases where there is a public library it is used by stu- 
dents either for recreational reading or refference work, usually both. 
As one librarian said by encouraging students to patronize the public 
library the librarian does not feel compelled to buy so much fiction. 


A rather interesting comment comes from the librarian at Bureka 
wWnere thereis no public library. He sa&d they had been willing to lend 
to townspsople but outsiders had caused so much trouble by keeping 
books over time necessitating the sending of notices and &ven messengers. 
Now books are only lent to friends of the colleges.
